Sunderland are known to be in the loan market for players during the January transfer window and they could provide the perfect solution to a Leeds United conundrum.
Whites defender Charlie Cresswell has spent the first half of the season on loan at the Black Cats' Championship rivals but the England under-21 international has lost his place in the side in recent weeks.
Despite a positive start to the campaign with the Lions, which saw him score twice on his debut, Cresswell has failed to consistently nail down a starting berth under Gary Rowett despite making 17 appearances this term.
